Imphal, May 27: Member of Parliament of the Bharatiya Janata Party Prahlad Patel has stated that during the last three years working as the prabhari of Manipur he had raised several burning issues of the state including blockades, persistent bandhs in the Parliament but the two Lok Sabha MPs representing the state totally abstained from doing so.
He made the statement while addressing a meeting to celebrate the third year of BJP government at the Centre which was organised by the Thoubal district unit of BJP as part of the programme entitled District Sammelan on Modi-Maker of Developed India.
Carrying on his tirade against the two Congress MPs, Th Meinya and Thangso Baite, for failing the people of the state, he said it was very unfortunate that the task of informing the lower house of the Parliament about the issues affecting Manipur was left to him.
Both MPs never spoke about the problems that rocked the state from time to time including that of bandhs, blockades and crisis in Churachandpur, he asserted.
He praised the grassroot workers of the party for their hard work asserting that the success in completing three years at the helm of the country is their gift.
President of BJP state unit and newly elected Rajya Sabha MP K Bhabananda, president of Thoubal district BJP, L Deven, minister of education Th Radheshyam, vice-president of BJP state unit N Nimbus, treasurer Robin Blackie, secretary-in-charge of Thoubal district, L Tejkumar, president of Mahila Morcha N Sunitibala and parties candidates at the last state Assembly election were the main invitees.
